Panasonic TC-L32C22 REVIEW

Panasonic TC-L32C22 GREAT TV.
This model is great except for one important annoyance. All my video hook-ups use HDMI. After about 1 hour and 55 minutes of viewing the sound suddenly distorts to being completely garbled. Turning the set off then back on clears this problem, but the TV's start-up is so slow that this takes about twenty seconds for the picture and sound to come back on. Of course, this is very near the end of every 1-hour TV show and is usually at the most critical point in the show ! This is extremely annoying. I doubt that this problem is due to my Verizon FiOS set top box. Verizon is extraordinary about demanding perfect performance from their equipment suppliers for all their STB's, routers, modems, etc. that they supply for their various services.----- Otherwise, this model has exceeded my expectations for only four hundred bucks at KostKo. It's too bad that a single serious flaw ruins the overall high quality of this product. ----- I use the Western Digital WD TV LIVE PLUS HD to stream videos (DVD and .AVI files) from my Win7 PC via HDMI and a 100mbit hardwired LAN cable. This is the only solution (that is, the WD on HDMI) I have found that displays HD video from my PC that completely fits the horizontal width of the TV screen.

Panasonic TC-L32C22 Great Bed Room TV
I was looking for a larger TV for the bed room and decided on the 32 inch Panasonic because of the good picture quality and reliability I have experienced from another Panasonic TV I purchased for my living room a couple of years ago. The new Panasonic was purchased at Best Buy for $410 and is a new model replacement for a similar Consumer Report's review that was rated as a CR Recommendation. The TV was easy to set up and the picture quality is great. This is the perfect size for a bed room or guest room TV. The 720p is fine for a 32 inch TV and 1080p is not necessary for a set of this size or smaller.

Panasonic VIERA TC-L32C22 Great HD TV at Bargain price
Bought this Panasonic Viera TCL32C22 at PC Richards, a NY/NJ area appliance shop. Floor price was $399, but I paid $349.

Let me start off by saying I own a video production company, so I sit in front of televisions all day. When HD TV's first hit the market, I was unimpressed with the image quality. At close scrutiny, most HD TV's that I've seen have horrible artifacting, due to the MPEG-2 compression used to transmit signals.

After hooking it up to my FIOS HD box using an HDMI cable, the first channel I put on was YES network, because I know that NY Yankees games are broadcast in high definition. I was extremely impressed with the image clarity and the color. There was no visible artifacting, even when sitting a few inches from the screen. I surfed through the high-def channels and found varying degrees of images. Some channels just stretch the picture and slap an "HD" logo on it, so you really need to look at a high-def broadcast to judge it.

My next step was to connect a DVD player using a set of Analog component cables. I choose two DVD's: the BBC "Planet Earth" series because of the wonderful photography it includes, and the Hollywood movie "There will be Blood," for both the photography and sound.

"Planet Earth" displayed in widescreen mode on the DVD/TV combination without me setting anything. From ten feet, the pictures were gorgeous. The color was rich and vibrant. At screen-side, black blockiness was apparent; but when I sat a few feet away the MPEG-2 artifacting disappeared.
 

Panasonic TC-L32C22 Best Price, Easy to Set-Up, Beautiful Picture, Reasonable Price
I am not an expert on LCD televisions, just someone in need of a new TV. It will ultimately be used in the bedroom, but for now it is in the family room. Although it is not a huge room, it opens to the kitchen and the ceiling is vaulted. For months I studied reviews of different models on the internet hoping to at least discover which manufacturers had the most service problems to avoid that aggravation, along with which brand had the best rated picture quality. I also visited showrooms to see what looked best to my eye.

After my research I narrowed my search to a 720p TV because although 1080p of course creates a higher quality picture, it isn't as critical on a 32 inch TV or smaller. Since new televisions usually appear in March, my plan was to buy a discontinued model and take advantage of clearance pricing. Unfortunately I waited too long and the two choices I'd focused on were both no longer available. This TV met my needs, the price was right and Panasonic was one of the two brands I'd settled on.


Panasonic TC-L32C22 Best Buy, Great Looking TV
This unit provides a very nice picture quality, typical from a Panasonic TV.

I purchased this unit for my mother as Christmas gift and I was very impressed once connected to her cable provider and tuning to several HD channels.

The setup was fairly easy. It took me literally 5 minutes from taking the TV out of its box, installing the pedestal and placing it on the stand.
I didn't even need to read the instruction's book.

The speakers provide adequate sound for a bedroom and the video/audio inputs available are more than enough for my mom's needs (Cable STB and DVD Player).

I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a reliable TV brand at a very decent price.
